Bleeker Ridge

Formed by two pairs of brothers when they were barely 13 and living in a small town in Ontario, Canada, Bleeker Ridge managed to survive as a band through its members' teenage years and signed with Roadrunner Records in 2010. The quartet--which got its name by combining the two street names of where the brothers lived--began as a cover band that played Jimi Hendrix and Joe Walsh songs, but slowly began writing its own songs and developing its own signature style of music. The resulting sound of Bleeker Ridge became defined by hard rock guitar riffs, heavy percussion and emotive vocals, which won over fans across Canada.
